Kat6a - K(lysine) acetyltransferase 6A

Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; face morphogenesis; and negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; and liver. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Arboleda-Tham syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human KAT6A (lysine acetyltransferase 6A).
